The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 71 Shuanglong Takes Water
On this day, Xiaoyaozi brought the young man to Ji Ran, saluted him and said, "Disciple Qingxuan has met my uncle."

Ji Ran nodded and didn't say anything more. He just said: "I came to Taoism with impure thoughts and it is difficult to become a noble person. You can leave now."

Xiaoyaozi frowned and said: "Junior brother is not happy, is it because he sees his own shadow in him? Even though his talent is not as good as junior brother. But he is the direct descendant of my Taoist family after all. As my uncle, are you too much? Too harsh."

Hearing this, Ji Ran looked at the stubborn young man and said, "Well, you are the grandson of Lord Xinling Wei Wuji?"

The young man nodded and said, "My name is Wei Wushang. My father is the eldest son of Lord Xinling, but he was killed by a trap killer many years ago."

When Ji Ran heard this, he glanced at Xiaoyaozi calmly and then asked: "In that case, the past is just like passing clouds."

Ji Ran's words were actually meant for herself, and also for the young man in front of her.Xiaoyaozi knew something about Ji Ran being hunted down by the eldest son Xinlingjun, but it was a pity that the young man didn't know.

The young man only thought that this uncle was too cold and aloof and did not take him seriously.However, as a nobleman, his etiquette was quite good and he did not let others find fault with his behavior.

Xiaoyaozi said to Ji Ran: "Senior brother wants to ask you for a piece of hibiscus leaf. It is said that wearing this thing all year round can help refine the physical body and strengthen Qi and blood."

Ji Ran replied: "It does have this energy effect. The hibiscus leaves will nourish and roast the body like a furnace at all times. However, it requires high internal strength control, otherwise it will burn the meridians and bones. If you need it, senior brother, you can get it from the master."

"Junior brother, the number of nine hibiscus leaves here has been determined."

Xiaoyaozi frowned and asked with some displeasure: "What's the matter? You can't even give me a piece of my senior brother's face."

Ji Ran replied: "I have calculated that I will have seven disciples, and each of them will have a piece after that, but the last two pieces belong to the descendants of the two old friends."

Xiaoyaozi's face returned to calmness, and his tone became calm as he said: "So, I, my senior brother, can't get it from you?"

When Xiaoyaozi first learned that Ji Ran had four hibiscus branches, he thought he should have one, but he didn't expect that the guy would rather give it to Tianzong's Lao Immortal than to himself.This made Xiaoyaozi very unhappy.

From that time on, the relationship between Xiaoyaozi and Ji Ran became increasingly cold.Today, Xiaoyaozi thought that as a senior brother, he didn't have a whole hibiscus plant and was just asking for a hibiscus leaf for his disciple, so there would be no problem, but he was also rejected.

"It seems that my majesty in Renzong is not deep enough. This kid is only relying on Master's love and care to dare to be so contemptuous of me. If Master respects him..." Xiaoyaozi thought in his heart.

Seeing that Ji Ran was still sitting cross-legged, motionless, and even had her eyes closed, Xiaoyaozi stopped asking for trouble and left the place with Qingxuan.

Qingxuan asked Xiaoyaozi: "Master, what did the disciple do wrong? It made my uncle unhappy and affected the friendship between the master and his uncle."

Xiaoyaozi snorted coldly at first, then sighed and said: "This matter is for the sake of Shi Qiuque. When your uncle was your age, your father sent people to chase him for thousands of miles, and finally fled to Taizhou in a state of embarrassment. Yishan.”

"I thought that he had cultivated his moral character over the years and had long looked down on this hatred. Unexpectedly, he was only doing superficial things, but in his heart he was still the ruthless Taoist man."

In October 225 BC, the Qin State, with lightning speed, first instigated a rebellion against Ji Shou Teng in Nanyang, South Korea. Because of his meritorious service in dedicating the city, the King of Qin appointed Ji Shou Teng as the internal history of the capital.And this Nei Shi Teng is none other than Bai Yifei, one of the fierce generals in the night, Ai Ai Xue Yi Hou.

It turns out that Nanyang is the place that Bai Yifei's mother has devoted all her life to protect, and it is also the place where Bai Yifei's spirit rests, and it is Bai Yifei's reverse scale.Ji Wuye and Jade Tiger plotted against Nanyang but did not discuss with Bai Yifei beforehand, which led to Yemu's separation.

Coupled with the changes in the people on the border of Qin over the years, even if there are few, Nanyang has become prosperous because of the changes in Qin.Therefore, Bai Yifei made up his mind to seek refuge with the King of Qin.

Under the lightning strike, South Korea was like a candle in the wind. Even Xinzheng did not show any large-scale resistance. Within one month, the entire territory of South Korea was captured by Qin.

At the end of the same year, when the Wei State was not ready for battle, the Qin State conquered 32 cities of the Wei State, attacking from Xinzheng and the Yellow River.

It was already January 224 BC when Ji Ran received the message.The Qin army and the Wei army faced off in Daliang City for nearly a month.

Because the Qin army has planted cotton on a large scale in recent years, it has driven part of the domestic economy.Moreover, in such a severe winter, the Qin army's combat effectiveness was several times stronger than that of the Wei army.This is why Ying Zheng chose to send troops in winter.

But the people are suffering very much. "I take a long breath to cover my tears, and I feel sorry for the hardships of the people's livelihood."

In May 224 BC, Ji Ran, who came back from Daliang to relieve the victims, was accompanied by two people, a man and a woman.The boy's name is Baifeng, and the girl's name is Yanlingji.

Seeing Ji Ran like this, Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Sir, you really like this most beautiful woman in the world."

Ji Ran sighed: "I saw a lot of strange children outside Daliang City. I even thought they were not human."

Ying Zheng became interested and asked: "I wonder what kind of children make you feel that they are not human?"

Ji Ran looked up at the sky as if reminiscing, and said slowly: "Their heads are surprisingly big, their eyes are narrow, their cheekbones are bulging, and the corners of their mouths are weakly pulled down."

"Their limbs are slender and skinny, and black blood vessels are vaguely visible."

"Their bellies are bulging, and they look like they are full. Unfortunately, that is not because they are full, but a disease caused by lack of nutrition."

"The name of this disease is bloating."

Ji Ran looked at Ying Zheng and said in a more relaxed tone: "But fortunately, your lightning tactics took Daliang City in less than a year. This situation only happened in a few villages."

He then pointed at the young man behind him and introduced to Ying Zheng: "This boy's name is Bai Feng. He was once a member of Bai Niao under Ji Wuye. He seems to have a good relationship with Nong Yu. When I left you to go to South Korea to pay my respects to Nong Yu, I met him when I was in Jade and snatched him from Ji Wuye’s hands.”

As for Yan Lingji, Ji Ran didn't introduce her too much.

He continued to say to Ying Zheng: "The reason I came here this time is to establish the Zen ancestral court and establish a separate branch in Songshan Mountain in South Korea. So I came to discuss with you whether you are willing to let Songshan Mountain be hundreds of miles away from us."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes froze.Before Ying Zheng could take action, Ji Ran continued: "That place was still deserted five years ago. The last time I left Qin, I invested a lot of manpower and money there, arranged for Bai Feng to be there, and eventually Songshan was surrounded by hundreds of miles. Here, it was reclaimed and turned into farmland.”

"This time the Battle of Daliang took in nearly a hundred men, women, and children, a total of one hundred households, almost 300 people. There are only ten thousand acres of land for one hundred miles, and one household has one hundred acres of cultivated land, which is equivalent to two hundred small acres in Qin. However, Qin law stipulates that, Every adult farmer should have five hundred acres. I don't think it's illegal."

Ying Zheng was silent after hearing this. It was true that Ji Ran was discussing with him. If Ji Ran did this, it would not violate Qin's law even if he did not discuss it. He had no reason to blame or resent him.You should even be grateful. After all, Ji Ran gave Qin more than [-] acres of fertile land and hundreds of new people.

So Ying Zheng said to his chamberlain: "I have passed the order to place the area around Songshan within a radius of three thousand miles and establish Songshan County."

At the same time, Ying Zheng said to Ji Ran: "I will give this widow from Songshan County to you. I hope you will take good care of it and help Daqin gather more refugees in the future."

Ji Ran nodded and said, "Good."

On the ninth day of September in 224 BC, the temple that had been built on Shaoshi Mountain as early as five years ago finally had its own name, and at the same time many representatives from hundreds of families arrived.

Such as the new Dongjun Yanfei of the Yin and Yang family, the Mohist Jing Ke, the Confucian Fu Nian, the Legalist Han Fei, Zong Heng Weizhuang, the farmer Tian Guang, etc.

Even the five countries sent representatives to watch the ceremony.

The process is very simple. Ji Ran stood in front of the mountain gate and said to everyone present: "Now I, Xuan Xinzi, feel that the distinction between Tao, Dharma, heaven and man is too absolute, so I established the Buddhist Zen Sect to enlighten my mind and realize the great road."

"This temple is located in the dense jungle of Shaoshi Mountain, so I named it 'Shaolin Temple'. When you see Shaolin disciples from hundreds of families in the future, please be more accommodating and make it convenient."

After hanging up the Shaolin Temple plaque written by Ying Zheng himself, everyone entered the Main Hall and saw a stone-engraved Chinese character "Zen".But the rest of the place is empty, not as bright as the glazed treasures, colorful lamps and solemn Buddha statues in later generations.

There is only simplicity and simplicity here, giving people a feeling of cleanliness and even desertedness.

Ji Ran ignored the people with different expressions. She sat down and gestured for everyone to sit on the futon, and then said:

"As I have heard now, it is the place where speech is practiced."

"Convenience is the ultimate victory, just as it is cultivated."

"Reduction and advancement determine all merits."

"When practice declines, the Dharma will no longer arise."

"It's also impossible to advance. Let's talk about it briefly now."

"First of all, you should have the intention of waiting and practice the practice of loving-kindness."

"It takes just a moment to stop being angry, but it won't do to stop."

"When worries are over for the time being, the next step is to purify the body."

"Since Sheila is pure, samadhi arises in it."

"Samadhi has been cultivated, so observe whether it is appropriate or not."

"A good person knows what he should do, and he should do what he should practice."

"As soon as you do what you should do, concentrate on your heart."

"You can already enjoy that place and observe the signs of the wind."

"When he is looking at Yifeng, his mind is still in chaos."

"Stop the mind on the in-breath, just like controlling a horse."

"When the mind has stopped taking in the breath, it is time to think and remember."

"Coldness, warmth and lightness, softness, roughness and smoothness."

"Practice the truth and be aware of it, and adapt to the good and the good."

"..."

The sound of Zen came out from the Main Hall, and the sound echoed throughout the entire Shaoshi Mountain.There are bears, tigers, wolves, foxes, rabbits, monkeys, snakes and deer in the mountains.They seemed to understand, and they were listening quietly in the square, outside the walls, and in the mountains and forests.

Give up fighting, giving up fighting, giving up the violence in my heart.Quietly accept the baptism of Zen sounds.

Not to mention the grand scene in Songshan Mountain, when Xiaoyaozi found out that his junior brother had broken away from the sect and established a new sect, he was almost furious.

"No wonder he always ignores me. It turns out that he has a different heart. Renzong has trained him for many years, but he went out to set up his own family. He is simply an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf." Xiaoyaozi thought resentfully in his heart.

But facing such a scene, Ming Lingzi and Bei Mingzi were very calm.Bei Mingzi said: "Don't you feel sorry?"

Ming Lingzi replied: "We are on the same path, still on the same road, why should we feel sorry?"

The two old men looked at each other and laughed.When the laughter stopped, Bei Mingzi looked at Ming Lingzi and said, "Junior brother, it seems that your end is approaching."

Ming Lingzi nodded and said: "I also feel that maybe it's just these few years. It's time for me to go out and see the world. I'll leave Taiyi Mountain to my senior brother."

After the day and night lectures on Songshan Mountain, people such as Bai Feng, Jing Ke, Fu Nian, Han Fei, Wei Zhuang, etc. all had varying degrees of enlightenment. Bai Feng even penetrated the two channels of Ren and Du.For Bai Feng, who is now 20 years old, it is already pretty good.

Everyone stood up and saluted Ji Ran and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist Xuan Xinzi, for teaching me the Dharma and solving my doubts."

Ji Ran clasped her hands together and said, "My blessings are immeasurable, and I would also like to thank all fellow Taoists for their blessings and support."

Since then, there has been a Shaolin Temple on Shaoshi Mountain, which occupies a large area but is simple and plain.The people in the temple consider themselves monks, and their daily activities include chanting sutras, practicing martial arts, farming, fetching water and other sundries. They also go to Songshan County down the mountain every month to provide free medical treatment for the people, which can be regarded as a peaceful place.

Now Han Fei is taking care of many affairs inside and outside the Shaolin Temple. He was the same age as Ji Ran, but for some reason he fell under the curse of the Six Souls of the Yin-Yang family in Qin State, and it took Ji Ran a lot of effort to save him. return.

Unfortunately, Han Fei's body after being rescued was not as good as before. He didn't look like a middle-aged man at all, but more like an old scholar.

After feeling the joy of being alive again and accompanying the demise of South Korea, Han Fei also became shaken by his so-called Xiong Tu hegemony and the world of 99.

Until he finally heard Ji Ran's lecture, he completely gave up on everything and became the first monk in Shaolin Temple, and even wanted to become a disciple of Ji Ran.

Ji Ran happily responded and gave the Dharma title: "Death heart. Once the body has died, so has the heart."

After a few days of retreat to digest Ji Ran's teachings and insights, Bai Feng also became a disciple of Ji Ran. Ji Ran gave him the title of Dharma: "Beings who love life are as agile as a hundred birds."

Even the hot-tempered Yan Lingji seemed to be enlightened and wanted to join Ji Ran's disciples. Ji Ran just shook her head slightly and said to Yan Lingji: "The fate has not yet come, wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

And Yan Lingji also discovered that since the founding of this Zen sect, Ji Ran's whole person has changed, becoming very mysterious, and her words are always implicit and need to be carefully understood.It seems that he suddenly changed from an adult to an illusory person.

Time flies like water. In the blink of an eye, two years have passed since Han and Wei were annexed by Qin.On this day, an uninvited guest came to Shaolin Temple and met Han Fei, the chief elder of Bodhi Temple.

"Brother Han, have you given up on Korea just like this? Now the life and death of the fourth young master are unknown, and the whereabouts of the king are unknown. The king indulges in drinking and sex every day and has no fighting spirit. The only one that the whole of Korea can rely on now is you." Zhang Liang persuaded with sincerity.

"Blessings are endless! There is no Brother Han here, only Death Heart. This gentleman seems to have recognized the wrong person." Elder Death Heart said quietly to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang's eyes turned cold and he said to Han Fei: "Xuan Xinzi must have used some kind of poison to control you. I'm going to kill him right now."

Death Heart did not step forward to stop him, he just said: "The abbot who once presided over said something to me, I will give him to you."

"Qi, Chu, Qin, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han, no matter which country has one name in my eyes, that is Huaxia."

After saying that, he picked up the broom and continued to clean Bodhi Courtyard.

Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Zhang Liang took a deep look at the back hall, then turned and left.When I walked out of the gate of Shaolin Temple, I passed by an old man.

This old man was none other than Shuang Jianzi, the current elder of the Renzong. Shuang Jianzi came to the back hall and saluted Ji Ran and said, "Sure enough, my uncle can see clearly that the Renzong is no longer a good cultivator. So. I wonder if I have a chance to become a Zen sect?"

Ji Ran said: "If there is another storm in the future, what will you do?"

Shuang Jianzi said: "The wind and clouds are still the same, the wind and frost are still the same, the clouds and frost are still the same, the wind and clouds and frost are still the same."

Ji Ran said: "Shan, are you willing to give you the Buddhist name Laoshuang and manage the library?"

Shuang Jianzi also imitated the Han Fei he saw before, clasping his hands together and saying, "Blessings are immeasurable, Lao Shuang happily accepts the order."

At the end of the same year, a thin woman came to the Shaolin Temple. This woman was not beautiful, but her whole body gave people a sense of gentleness and tranquility. This person was the current head of the medical family, Nian Duan.

Ji Ran saw Nianduan and asked, "My friend Nianduan, why are you here?"

Nian Duan said bitterly: "Since Master has already seen it, why bother asking even though you already know it?"

Ji Ran sighed: "Heart disease is the most difficult to cure since ancient times, and there is no cure here. However, if you don't dislike the dilapidated and shabby temple, you might as well stay for a while. Maybe it will help your illness."

Ji Ran said to the outside world: "My disciple, living soul, you will accompany your uncle Nian Duan for these few days, and stay here to meditate and cultivate."

In the same year, Shaolin Temple adopted six homeless children, and gathered and rescued at least two hundred refugees, all of whom were resettled in Songshan County at the foot of the mountain.

Ji Ran said to Death Heart: "Now Qin's new policy is extremely friendly to the people. It can be said to be very different from the other five countries. However, there are still so many refugee orphans among the people. It seems that South Korea's long-standing shortcomings are difficult to eliminate. The King of Qin did not dare to let go of his hands and go on a killing spree."

"Looks like I need to help him out again."

Resolutely asked: "Master, I once read the scriptures that life is precious, and we should not rely on the sharp weapon in our hands to recklessly harvest other people's statements. Life needs to be respected, because life can only be valued by life. Abbot now Is the act of killing excessive?"

Ji Ran asked about the death wish: "If Han Yu, the fourth son of South Korea, is still alive, what do Buddhist friends think Zhang Liangweizhuang and others will do? How many refugees and orphans will there be? After all, you and I are just two people, and we cannot save all sentient beings in the world. I will try my best. Wait for full strength, but one person is one person, isn't this what we have been practicing?"
